A play on "Swiftboating," where baseless allegations are widely promoted to smear a candidate (often with funding provided by outside groups),"Truthboating" is designed to discredit a candidate or their positions based on well documented facts or the public record.
While some might consider telling the truth about a candidate to be a "dirtytrick," others feel the practice may actually make an important contribution to electoral politics.
Mitt Romney called it "disgusting" that the Obama campaign was citing actual facts about when he worked at Bain Capital. Such truthboating is expected to escalate as the presidential election approaches.
A way to show others that you are a scared little kid who won't say things to other peoples faces, but will write it in a box on myspace, and not put your identity, because you are scared of getting your ass kicked or rejected.
